Major construction at Walt Disney
Co.’s theme park in Shanghai could start as early as May with
work on two major roads leading to the future site due to be
completed in April, the Shanghai Daily reported, citing a local
official.

The two roads in the city’s Pudong area are part of the 40
billion yuan infrastructure budget for Disney’s first park in
mainland China, an amount equivalent to Pudong’s spending on
infrastructure for last year’s World Expo, the report said,
citing a Pudong Construction and Traffic Bureau official
surnamed Wang.

All construction related to the Disneyland project is
expected to be completed in 2014 and the park is due to open in
2015, the report said.
